        Input:
            location: the location to reserve [list of nodes]
            new_time: the new end time of a resource reservation

            * Sets/releases reservation on specified node list
            * Sets/releases ALPS reservation.  If set reservation is unconfirmed
              Confirmation must occur a cray_script_forker
